DEMO MANUAL DC1988A

Quick start proceDure

Demo circuit 1988A is easy to set up to evaluate the per-

formance of the LTM8058. Refer to Figure 4 for proper 

measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure 

below:
NOTE. When measuring the input or output voltage ripple, 

care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the 

oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output voltage 

ripple by touching the probe tip directly across the V

IN

 or 

V

OUT

 and GND terminals. See Figure 5 for proper scope 

probe technique.
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to V

IN

 

and GND. 

2. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE. Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed 30V.
3. Check for the proper output voltages. (For V

OUT1

, check 

the voltage between V

OUT1

 and V

OUT

. For V

OUT2

, check 

the voltage between V

OUT2

 and V

OUT

.)

NOTE. If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the 

load to make sure that the load is not set too high.
4. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust 

the load within the operating range and observe the 

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and 

other parameters.
